The MST Q&A: It May Be Cold, but the Costumes Are Hot!

How do we love Macy? Let me count the ways! Ms. Perrone is dressing up MST in fine fashion this season. She brought the 80s back in THE HEIDI CHRONICLES, provided scarves and hats for MADELINE'S CHRISTMAS, and this week she brings Narnia to life in THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW (left).

Macy was also the force behind our recent hit, A CATERED AFFAIR. From a beautiful wedding gown, to dressing the neighborhood gossip mongers, to the everyday cab driver, 1953 Bronx, NY was dressed up wonderfully.

Let's learn a bit more about Macy as she fills out the MST Q&A...

Full given name: Macylyne Malmstrom Perrone

Hometown: Price, Utah

Zodiac sign: Leo {before all this uproar, now I'm just confused :) }}

What inspired you while preparing for this production? The music, definitely! As well as, the other design elements. I have also, previously, worked with quite a few of the actors, and I particularly enjoyed collaborating with them to find the heart of each of their characters.

The Light in the Piazza

First Houston show ever saw: Ages, and ages ago I saw Agatha Christie's THE UNEXPECTED GUEST as part of The Alley's Summer Chills Series...it was great!

Current show you have been recommending to friends: A Catered Affair

Favorite post-show meal: Tacos!

Favorite show tune: The Ballad(s) of Sweeney Todd

Performer you would drop everything to go see: Gary Allan

MAC or PC? MAC!!

Most played song on your iPod: at the moment...anything Damien Rice

Last book you read: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Must-see TV show: Modern Family

Last good movie you saw: True Grit

Pop culture guilty pleasure: Reality Television...those Real Housewives and Toddlers wearing Tiaras are a real trip!

A Catered Affair

Favorite board game: Clue

Favorite cereal: Oh's!

Special skills: I can complete many tasks with my feet...picking up seam rippers and other sewing objects, turning on and off the bath tub faucet, petting my cat, etc.

Most “happy mistake” on a production: I had to come up with a quick/temporary pregnant belly for Lucy Brown in THREE PENNY OPERA, and the closest round object was a bowler hat. It turned out to be a great schtick when she revealed the "non pregnancy" and pulled it out of her dress on stage. Win. Win!

Worst job you ever had: VHS production warehouse...not my forte BUT I was the Shrink Wrap Queen.

Thanks Macy! Tomorrow we learn more about Richard Solis, fellow designer on THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW and his fantastic masks!

And that's the word on the street
